Humble Administrator's Garden, Classical Chinese garden in Suzhou, China.
The garden spans 5.2 hectares with water features, interconnected pools, pavilions, bridges, and cultivated landscapes divided into three distinct sections.
Wang Xianchen, an Imperial Envoy and poet, created this garden in 1509 on the former site of Dahong Temple during the Ming Dynasty.
The garden exemplifies traditional Chinese landscaping principles through the arrangement of water elements, architecture, and plants in the Suzhou garden style.
The garden opens from 7:30 AM with different closing times in summer and winter, offering separate ticket prices for peak and off-peak seasons.
The residential section contains exhibition rooms showcasing classical garden elements, while lotus ponds cover one-fifth of the total garden area.
